Tragic Deception: Father Arrested for Daughter's Murder Disguised as Suicide

In a chilling incident in Maharashtra's Jalna district, a man has been apprehended for allegedly murdering his daughter and attempting to present it as a suicide, authorities confirmed on Sunday.

The disturbing revelation came from Dawalwadi in Badnapur tehsil on September 5 when local police were alerted to what initially appeared to be a suicide. However, an inspection at the scene revealed inconsistencies, prompting further investigation.

Haribhau Jogdand, the woman's father, admitted to the heinous act, confessing that he strangled his daughter in a dispute over her relationship with a man and then staged the scene as a suicide. Jogdand was subsequently arrested under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on charges of murder.
